This took longer than expected, actually.
So, I have finally got around to choosing some photos from our holiday in Iceland to display here. I've added four albums on Facebook, but if we're not friends on Facebook or for some inexplicable reason haven't looked through all the albums, here is a highlight tour.
These are photos that I've chosen because I like them for reasons of form or content; they don't create a narrative of the holiday or reflect the many, many things we did and saw. Just so you know.
(I feel like I should provide a warning for dial-up users. Those were the days!)
Reykjavik, view from the Hallgrimskirkja.
Viking Ship.
Me, achieving one of my life's ambitions - soup in a bread bowl.
The soup was really good, too!
Playing Skip-Bo.
Dimmuborgir - water flowing from out of the lava fields into a river.
I think the volcanic rock produces more interesting leaf colours.
Sunrise in Saeberg.
Where we stayed in Saeberg.
Route One, busy as usual.
A turf church.
Turf houses.
Possible Hobbit holes.
Godafoss, where the Icelandic law speaker threw his heathen idols after the parliament voted to adopt Christianity in 1000AD.
James standing in the steam from a fumerole.
Akureyri, capital of the North.
Learnt a lot about whales!
The very North coast.
Possibly the best photo of the two of us from the whole holiday.
Asbyrgi, a horse shoe valley though to be formed by Odin's horse.
One of my favourite views - I clambered up a pile of rocks, and just stood and looked at it.
The middle of the horseshoe.
Dettifoss.
Taking James for a walk on a wet day.
So maybe this will be part one of two as I'm getting pretty tired now. I did take 1,100 photos over 10 days though so I think I'm doing pretty well to narrow it down to these few!
